Off-campus study

Katie Schumacher The most beneficial experience of the ACM Chicago Business, Entrepreneurship, & Society program for me would be the internship. I had my internship at ACCION Chicago, a non-profit organization that provides various services to small businesses, including credit. At this internship, I had substantive work to accomplish, such as a project to prepare an international fact sheet for their clients. The experience and contacts made there will aid me in my future goals.
